Prior to the internet condensing into just 5 or so websites, what do you remember fondling about being online?

I remember winning a raffle contest on the old Terraria forums and getting to pick my own title (instead of just New Member, Member, Well-Known Member). Of course, since I was like 13, I picked a random collection of letters that only I knew was an acronym of my signature on said forums.

Badger Badger was made by the creator of Weebl and Bob. It found its way onto Ebaums no doubt, but he had his own site, weeblsstuff, that had a bunch of stuff.

One of my favourite possessions is my Cat Face pendulum clock!

Are you talking about one of these?

We gave one of them to my cat loving sister in law and the removed gave it away to a friend. Like, if you didn't want it I would have taken it. I'm still salty if you can't tell

No, but my mum did buy me one of those when I asked her to get me the CatFace one lmao. Even though I gave her the specific link. Ended up having to buy it myself.

This is CatFace, and like I say the clock face is his giant cat head. Then his little dangling body is the pendulum.

Also here's a test, apparently Jebora lets you upload images directly.
